People are just mad. I'm ok with that. I'm not arguing whether they should be. Just being knee jerk and bitching for the sake of it all should be something I'm used to, huh?

After all, I should be "glad" this is going down. Or so I was told by someone that it will make my husband's job safer. I would be, except I was told that by several people who have no idea what he does, what happened here, what goes on, where he is, blah blah blah.
